I'm so anxious. I think the raccoon made an attempt to get into the chicken coop last night. I'm not sure if what I am seeing was there when my mom left or not but I don't think it was. I even climbed a ladder to get a better look. and that's tricky in the coopy while wearing barn boots.

There is nothing I can do tonight. Either they'll be ok in the morning or they won't. I texted my mom about what it looked like when she left but by the time I found what I'm worried about it was around midngiht for her and I'm sure she was sound asleep. If anything happens or things are not how they should be my brother will have to come down and fix it. The good thing was that I don't think the raccoon was out there tonight.

I also think one of the fish has died. I can't find it anywhere either yesterday or today. And that's bizarre because another fish died and I had to fish it out yesterday. That one had been dying for a few days so that was expected. This other one I cannot find anywhere and it's tiny so I supposed the other fish could have eaten it?

I hate this. I try to accommodate my family with pet-sitting but it seems like there is always something that completely stresses me out. At least this should be the last time this year.

I need to try to settle myself down. 7 nights and 8 days to go. I hope they all have the trip of their lives. That's the important thing. Chicken issues are just not that big of a deal in comparison. If something happens I did what I could and we knew it was possible. That knowledge just doesn't help.

2 days down!
